Policy analyst, Mr. Frank Aboagye Danyansah has lauded the decision by the Electoral Commission (EC) returning to the use of its original logo, which bears the Coat of Arms and has a ballot box showing the hand casting its vote.

Which bears the Coat of Arms and has a ballot box showing the hand casting its vote has been restored."
